“Finally, now’s the time to get this fixed.”
For a product, demand is not merely a pain point, or a desire. Demand is when the whole purchase story runs its course, multiple times, in a market.

How is Ian’s take, on customizing resumes for the intended hiring manager, so controversial?
Are you not in the business of creating user experiences? (Even if you code, you design the experience of the future code reviewer)
The user of your resume is the hiring manager! Make it a good experience!

.@ianlandsman.com's heard all of the criticisms about his opinions on resumes and cover letters, so he decided to go undercover and do the unthinkable:
He applied to open jobs at Apple & Google to see if he's right.
Turns out? Ian still thinks he's right. And @aaronfrancis.com agrees.

@michaelkoper.com it was nice hearing about Nusii in this one. Didn’t know it was popular for high end SaaS sales. Neat.
This week @ianlandsman.com and @aaronfrancis.com discuss how Aaron's orchestrating fly.io boxes for Database School, why sometimes you need to use AI to help AI, and why Costco is truly a great place.
Plus an all-time Ian resume rant and so much more.

Hey Friends. A question for you.
I'm planning to launch a series of videos in the new year, probably on a new YouTube channel.
What topics in particular would you like me to cover? I see myself teaching, demoing, doing critiques/deep-dives, maybe interviews.
Thanks! ✌️
